I think it's really fantastic about your work ethic. Phase aligning all these impulses was a great move and gives users way more tonal options. Do you have any plans to keep going, or expand your operation in case some more modern sampling technologies become readily available? |
I actually made a preset for Acustica Nebula called "KingsMesa4x12" and it has gotten some good reviews. The sound is different from a static impulse. A static impulse sounds compressed, but with the Nebula impulse it sounds like a mic'd cab because the sound seems to "move" more. It would be cool if Red Wire did some presets for Nebula. I own the Mesa cab impulses from Red Wire and I think they sound phenomenal. The fact that they are all in phase with each other is really helpful.
